Depends on the kind of image, but if it is a true “clone” you cannot image a partition to a partition of smaller capacity directly due to filesystem and sector/cluster sizing things. Or at least clonezilla won’t let you by default. (Note I said partition, not drive.)
The easy solution, assuming this is an upgrade and not a data recovery job, is to shrink the partitions on your larger drive to fit within the usable space envelope of the smaller drive before cloning. You can do this from windows disk management, or any Linux/Live USB that has gparted on it.
